Some More Christmas Goodness

Good morning! Happy Wednesday to you! Today I have another simple Christmas card. This one is made with both Waltzingmouse and PTI stamps. The layout is similar to the previous day's cards. I stamped WM label border on some PTI white. Then I stamped the dove stamp from PTI's 2008 Christmas tags. I added a PTI sentiment in white and flanked it with some cute little scrolls from WM stamps. Simple, fast, and easy!

Today I am off to UOP. It's a gorgeous private college in Stockton. We are taking the 4th graders at our school on a field trip there, hoping to plant the seeds of college in their young minds. I work in a school that is in a very poor area, most of the kids are on free lunch, etc. So helping them see college is attainable, fun, and a worthwhile goal is really important. I can't wait to go on this trip today. Its going to be so fun. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Looking for a Charity? Consider Donors Choose.

Donor's Choose is a charity that helps teachers fund projects for their classrooms. I am a elementary school science teacher and have used Donor's Choose to fund projects I can't get the school to pay for and don't have the money to pay for myself. The link goes to my personal page and links up any current projects I am trying to fund. Once there you can also see the projects of many other teachers.

About Me

Just another mom of two, thirty (uh now forty- yikes) something year old whose life has all the excitement of a snail. Quite a long time ago I started this blog to comment on the blogs of others- but along the way I fell in love with papercrafts and now this blog is my showcase. Occasionally you will still read some of my rants, you might see some pictures of my kiddos, and sometimes you might catch my exercise woes. If you would like to use a picture or idea, please ask- I am almost always happy to share. You can contact me at derbylea at sbcglobal dot net.
